Lot Details

Warhol created "Wild Raspberries," a cookbook and small edition portfolio, in 1959. The 22-page book featured Warhol's renderings of French and upscale foods. Infused with satyrical humor and playful vibrancy, "Wild Raspberries" was created in collaboration with Suzie Frankfurt. While Frankfurt provided the recipes for the book, Warhol's own mother, Julia Warhola, did the lettering, and Warhol himself handcolored the works with watercolor.

Andy Warhol (1927-1987) is the most widely recognized artist of the 1960s Pop Art movement, a genre that would change the American art market indefinitely. Warhol received his Bachelors of Fine Arts from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1949, and subsequently moved to New York City to pursue a career in the arts. It was not long before he was creating ground-breaking works, including paintings, prints, photographs, and films, that brought attention to American pop culture and the lifestyle of Hollywood celebrities. Warhol embraced market culture and helped to lead a change in the New York art scene that would in turn influence others to also look to consumer culture and goods for artistic inspiration. Today, he is regarded as one of the most prominent artists of the twentieth century, contributing not only thousands of works of art that are housed in museums and collections worldwide but also an iconic style that would impact the art market and artists alike for decades. His works have been exhibited in over two thousand exhibitions, including retrospectives at The Gagosian Gallery, New York, NY (2008); Musée National d´Art Moderne, Paris, France (1990); and The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL (1989).
